Is there mobile coverage?

Mobile coverage is available in the immediate area around Abisko. However, just a few kilometres south into the national park and the mountain area, coverage disappears. If you are hiking along the King’s Trail (Kungsleden), you should not expect to have mobile reception again until you reach either STF Kebnekaise Mountain Station or STF Vakkotavare Mountain Cabin.

All STF mountain huts are equipped with emergency telephones connected to the police radio network. In an emergency, it is therefore possible to contact the police, but these phones cannot receive incoming calls. It is important to inform your family and friends about this so they do not worry unnecessarily.
